Questions about Outages

Routine CMS maintentance windows are from 6pm - 7pm, every Monday and Wednesday. Generally, the system is still available during these times, but may be unavailable for a few minutes during that period.

There are other times where maintenance must be performed outside these windows due to unforeseen circumstances. We aim to provide as much notice as possible for these events, typically via email and via an alert on the login page. The routine maintenance is also mentioned on the login page on the day of maintenance.

Parsing XML in .NET

Let's say you have XML as <root>    <item>       <name1>value1</name1>       <name2>value2</name2>       <name3>value3</name3>    </item>    <item>       <name1>value1</name1>       <name2>value2</name2>    </item> </root> To parse it we use the .NET XmlDocument class: // Create the XmlDocument object XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument(); // Load the Xml into the object xmlDoc.Load(objResponse.GetResponseStream()); // Get the element like it was a path XmlNode errorNode = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("root/item/name1"); if (errorNode != null) { litResult.Text = errorNode.InnerText; return; }

Passing values from Javascript to Asp.Net

The trick to passing data from Javascript and Asp.Net is to use hidden inputs in the html. The hidden inputs should have the runat="server" attribute. For example: <input type="hidden" runat="server" id="hiddenfield" value="" /> Then in the Javascript, whatever value you are trying to pull from Asp.Net, set the hidden field using: document.getElementById("hiddenfield").value = "whatever value you want to set" And in the Asp.net form, you can just access the hiddenfield by using its id. string x = hiddenfield.value.text Thats all there is to it. You might need to check the syntax of it first as this is just all from my head.

Parsing XML Documents in the CMS: 2 Methods

To start off with do this: Dim txt Dim fieldStart, fieldEnd Dim xml Dim fields Dim ltxt Dim key Dim value txt = trim(content.item("_cmsEmailBody")) ltxt = lcase(txt) fieldStart = inStr(ltxt, "<root>") fieldEnd = inStr(ltxt, "</root>") if fieldStart >= fieldEnd then content.add "_cmsError", "Invalid email format. No XML data detected." exit Sub end if ' skip the end /root fieldEnd = fieldEnd + 6 set xml = system.createXML() if not xml.loadXML(mid(txt, fieldStart, fieldEnd)) then content.add "_cmsError", "Invalid XML format." exit Sub end if Now there are two ways to parse it. Method 1: set fields = xml.selectSingleNodeAsContent("root") Method 2: set fields = xml.selectSingleNodeAsDic("root") Check to make sure we have the root node: if not isObject(fields) then content.add "_cmsError", "Invalid xml format. Missing root /root node." exit Sub end if If Method 1 ...
